Another good message to reflect upon today.
July 4, 1776: Wondering whether the USA is the only country to celebrate its independence on the anniversary of simply declaring it, rather than on the anniversary of winning it. In our case, the British surrender at Yorktown, Virginia: October 19, 1781.
If so, that’s badass.

Our secular Democracy implicitly grants religious freedoms to all. A good thing. But if you're Christian and want to vote into law tenets of Christianity, you open the possibility of a different religious majority in the future out-voting you, instituting their laws instead.

I was thinking about this Joe and Tracy anecdote from the supply chain crisis on gummy bears. Things are probably going to get really weird in a few weeks in unexpected ways:

3/ If the govt has a real arguemnt, tell it to a judge. Trump wants everyone to feel afraid, foes and friends. Their liberty is at his whim. That's a King not a president. We're Americans. We're not slaves or supplicants. Elected officials serve us. We don't answer to them. We talk back to them.

I have been wracking my brains trying to come up with a single instance where privatizing a government service has ever either improved the service or saved any money at all.
Can anyone help me think of an example?
